Governor Roy Cooper recently visited Cliffside Elementary School to spend time with Rutherford County students and teachers.

During his visit, Governor Cooper toured Cliffside Elementary, observed several great lessons in action, and had a roundtable discussion with teachers from throughout the district about the state of education in Rutherford County and across North Carolina. He shared with all in attendance his commitment to uplifting education in our state and to funding capitol projects to ensure our children are in safe and optimal educational facilities.

To end his visit, Governor Cooper received a special gift from Lisa Brummett, PE teacher at Cliffside, and our friends from just up the road at Gardner-Webb University, whose basketball team is "dancing" for the first time.
